Department of Defense Reviewing Release of Sensitive Info to Media

In response to an inquiry from Rep Peter King (R-NY), the Department of Defense's Inspector General is expanding its review of how the department "interacts with the media" when it comes to the handling of sensitive or classified information, and how that information is released.

Rep King, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, saw it as vindication of his concerns about that collaboration. "I commend the Department of Defense Inspector General for taking so seriously the concerns I raised beginning last year about the Obama Administration's extremely close, unprecedented, and potentially dangerous collaboration with these Hollywood filmmakers working on this election-year film."
